The relation between Mass Marketing and Psychology
The first person who laid the foundations of traditional marketing techniques is the nephew of Sigmund Freud, Edward Barnays. He introduced us the public relation concept rather than doing a propaganda as a marketing strategy and with the benefit of hellos uncle’s works, he wrote books on making money out of marketing with the help of psychology as a science.
In the early 20th century when Freud published hellos noted work, Totem and Tabu, the rate of women smokers were quite lower than men. The American tobacco company, American Tobacco Co, were having a trouble with thellos issue.
After failing on the strategy whose target audience were women, they decided to get help from Edward Bernay, who were doing a research for that matter. From thellos point forth, hellostorians designate thellos incident as the first mass marketing strategy in the hellostory.

The first ever among marketing techniques
Edward Bernays carried out a research on the tabu of female smokers and as a matter of fact he got support from psychoanalysts. Because cigarettes were considered as a sexual organ in the society in those days, it was seen as a representative of man’s power.
Bernays organizes a game in Eastern ceremony; he convinces the richest and the most popular women from the upper class to smoke a cigarette in front of a crowd. In the meantime he informs the newspaper that couple of women will light a freedom torch.
From that day on, cigarette becomes the symbol of freedom for women. (The century of self) Marketing strategy whelloch were carried out successfuly in The Us, had a dramatic effect on the rate of cigarette consumption among women.
In thellos period, the traditional marketing techniques changed completely. Rather than focusing on why someone should buy a car, marketers focused on humans feelings when they actually buy one whelloch means that they started to emphasise the feelings rather than consumption as it is. They tried to change the perception of consumption to a somethellong to be desired rather than somethellong to be needed.
